As what can be understand from the name of the software, Youtube Downloader can be used to download Youtube video. Apart from Youtube, Youtube Downloader can download video from Facebook, Google Video, Yahoo Video, etc. It can act as a Flash player that plays Flash video.
Besides, Youtube Downloader is not only a "Downloader", but also able to convert them for Ipod, Iphone, PSP, Cell Phone, Windows Media, XVid and MP3. Moreover, Youtube Downloader can cut and select the output quality of converted videos.
The new version, version 2.6.3, fixes some downloading problems and adds support for "youtube.com/user/..." URLs for YouTube, xtube, keezmovies, and a few other sites. It can also download restricted video from Youtube.

HAMSTER Free Video Converter is the Free Video Converter that I high recommend. First, this video converter is free, but it is as powerful as those software that we need to pay. This video converter supports many format, for example, 3GP, MP3, MP4, AVI, MPG, WMV, MPEG, FLV, HD, DVD, M2TS. We could convert any video to iPhone, iPad, Blackberry, PSP, etc. This software is powerful, and also easy to use. What we need is just clicking on the buttons "Add file", "Edit" and "Convert". Besides, this software support many different languages such as English, Fench, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, etc.
Your computer may be used by others with or without your authentication. There may be some private information such as password, dairy, photos and company information that you don't want to share with others. We might use Winzip which encrypt files or folders, but it will take a long time to zip large file. There are several software with forbid access to certain folders. Today I am going to show you some:
1. Folder Lock http://www.newsoftwares.net/folderlock/
Folder Lock is one of the most popular software which encrypt and use password to protect files and folders. It use 256-bit AES encryption and can hide all traces of Folder Lock. The folder that locked cannot be invisible. Any folder can be locked and hidden. Another featured function is that is can monitor wrong password attempts and can shut down PC automatically.
One of the disadvantages is that the complete version of this software is not free. Some anti-virus software may report virus/danger about this software, but it should have no problem.
3. dirLock 1.4 http://emon.us/ http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Lockdown/dirLock.shtml
I would recommend dirLock 1.4. It is free. It can encrypt any folder that you like. One of the disadvantage is that the folders that are password protected are seen by others. And others could know which folders are locked simply by clicking the dirLock 1.4 without password.
I am not sure what your working environment is. I do not have right to install software in my office computer and my office does not encourage web surfing for private use. I highly recommend the following software for safer web surfing in office:
A portable software means that it can be installed without administrative right. I recommend Firefox because it is a fast web browser that allows you to visit website and close your browser faster. Firefox has a setting that clean up your history and temporary Internet files when closing the browser. The most important function is that Firefox has many addons that make you visit websites safer in office.
As what you may understand from the name of the addons, Page Title Eraser allows you to hide title and icon of the selected tab by using hot key (Ctrl + Alt + Shift + H) or from "Right-click" menu. So when you boss comes behind you. You could simply minimize your web browser without closing it.
This extension allows you to close all tabs and opening another one that you want to show your boss. When your boss goes away, you could restore to the website that you browse before.
Adblock allows you to block the Flash content on screen. As Flash content is more visible far-way than words and advertisement is useless, this extension make you free of the danger from useless advertisement.
My last recommendation is not to visit website in workplace too often. The software above could not delete the browsing history in office sever. When the boss checks for the browsing history, everything would be known. The softwares above is just use for occasional use.
Cool PDF Reader is the smallest and Free PDF reader that I know. As it is small (only 650KB), the software can be opened very quickly. Apart from its size, Cool PDF Reader is more than a PDF reader, it can:
-Convert PDF to graphic such as BMP and JPG
-Extract PDF to TXT
-Support many different language
-Zoom and rotate PDF page
-Slide show PDF document
Moreover, portable version of Cool PDF reader is available. This is the best for office which user does not have administrative right to install software.
My comment is that this software cannot compare with the Adobe PDF reader in terms of functionality. However, Cool PDF reader is best use for the computer that does not have much system resources and office use. I wonder why Adobe PDF reader is so large, as 650KB is enough for performing most of the common functions.

Overall speaking, I think Facebook developers are very creative who create many functions that have not been heard before. Besides, Facebook is very influential that many popular websites are willing to cooperate with Facebook. This makes Facebook to be the most popular social websites.
